Tal al-Hawa, Southern Rimal names now etched in fire and rubble, caught in the crosshairs of a genocide. I am from Zarnouqa, in the occupied Ramleh district. Born in the Nuseirat camp, I built a life with my husband and children in Southern Rimal, where every heartbeat echoed the streets of Tal al-Hawa. There, we lived not just in houses we lived in each other’s laughter, in the shared warmth of sidewalks and shopfronts, in the soft, unspoken language of belonging. Al-Quds Hospital — where I saw my face reborn in the eyes of my daughters as they entered the…

On the Srinagar-Jammu Highway (Screenshot) The war on Kashmir’s apples farmers. Guest Correspondent In apple orchards across Kashmir, generations of Kashmiris have built their lives around the harvest season that extends from August to October. But this year, the highways were shut down for the second time in less than 12 months. Trucks carrying fruit worth tens of millions of rupees were held back for weeks, while loaded crates rotted waiting for the road to open. Farmers returned home with unsellable produce, broken backs, and no answers. The Indian government says it’s because of the heavy rain that has battered Kashmir over…

the key and the book and the missing door … It is not new for them For those who mark their children’s birth By the waves of genocidal wars waged upon their people It is not new for them Yet this time it was slightly different To see their home come down in real time From Joburg Loss of life, limb and loved ones Cousins by the dozens These are daily tales between tears and sorry sobs Amongst diminishing families, friends and comrades Those who are martyred, and those who have managed to live another day Gaza is a factory…

Thick smoke rises from the area after the Israeli army launched intense attacks on residential areas and multi-story buildings where thousands of displaced Palestinians had taken refuge on al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City, Gaza, on September 19, 2025. [Saeed M. M. T. Jaras – Anadolu Agency] by Jamal Kanj  jamalkk Israel’s war minister, Israel Katz, declared with characteristic Zionist hubris: “Gaza is burning.”  His words were not a battlefield report or a measured account of military progress. They were a boast—almost celebratory—as though the incineration of a city, a gas chamber for a million human beings, were what defined Israel’s notion of…

An increasing number of countries officially recognized Palestine. (Design: Palestine Chronicle) By Ramzy Baroud Western recognition of Palestine signals a shift in rhetoric, shaped by Palestinian steadfastness and global solidarity, but remains contested in meaning. On Sunday, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia recognized the State of Palestine, a step many perceive as a reversal of a historical injustice that lasted decades. Other countries are expected to follow, including France and Portugal, among others. Much can be read into these decisions, especially if we examine the official reaction of Israel. “Calls for a Palestinian state threaten our existence and constitute an…

Britain is no stranger to genocide. It has carried out many in the past, and today it is enabling another by being a willing participant in Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinians. Britain wants to hide its crimes by concealing the truth about all the ways it’s helping Israel commit genocide: by sharing its airbases, its intelligence, and generous arms exports, and by providing political cover. It is also trying to silence any pro-Palestinian activism by deeming…

ByOrly Noy Right-wing Israelis protest near the Gaza border in support of the re-establishment of Israeli settlements in the Strip, in southern Israel, July 30, 2025. (Tsafrir Abayov/Flash90) The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. It must be confronted at its root. In partnership with Gaza City is engulfed in flames, as the Israeli army embarks on its long-threatened ground offensive after weeks of relentless bombardment. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, already facing an international arrest warrant on suspicion of crimes against humanity, described this latest assault as an “intensified operation.” I urge you…

Pic Courtesy: The Telegraph By Iqbal Jassat  EXPOSED: Tony Blair’s “GITA” plan for Gaza is a Continuation of British Treachery against Palestinians  From Balfour to Blair, British treachery has once again raised its ugly head to dispossess and disempower Palestinians by stripping them of agency, honour, dignity and freedom. Shocking details have emerged of colonial-era treason against the besieged Palestinian population of Gaza, who are enduring close to two years of devastating cruelty at the hands of the occupying Zionist regime’s genocide. Known as GITA, the devious plot devised by former British Premier Tony Blair stands for the establishment of the…

Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari speaks at a press conference during the Arab-Islamic emergency summit in Doha, on 15 September 2025 (Mahmud Hams/AFP) By Mohamad Elmasry Qatar’s emergency gathering projected rare defiance and anger after Israel’s strike last week, but deep divisions among states blocked a unified path forward Early on Monday morning, prior to the formal start of the Arab-Islamic summit in Doha, I expressed scepticism on Al Jazeera English about the kinds of concrete actions the conference might produce. The emergency summit, organised by Qatar on 15 September after it was attacked last week by Israel, aimed to demonstrate a unified Arab-Islamic position, show solidarity with…

By Basira Press Staff Editor’s note: The following is an exclusive translation of an excerpt from Palestinian Islamic Jihad founder Martyr Fathi Shaqaqi’s book on Islamic resistance entitled Khomeini: The Islamic Solution and the Alternative (from passages between pages 19 and 31). This particular excerpt addresses the colonialist roots of both liberalism and socialism in various forms of governance that ruled over West Asia since the involvement of colonial forces in the late 1800s and early 1900s. His thesis emphasizes that Islamic thought is superior to the materialist and secularist movements that sprung up in West Asia over the decades, specifically referencing the…
